Soon after Partition, Indian Railways built a new station called New Gitaldaha Junction, which was further from the border than Gitaldaha Junction. The line to Bamanhat was connected to this new station.

Broad gauge line

Up to the sixties there was a railway link from Cooch Behar to Dhubri via Golokganj. It was then known as the Assam Line Railway Service. It also connected East Pakistan, even after partition, However, collapse of the rail-cum-road bridge over the Gangadhar in the seventies ended that link. Now the bridge has been rebuilt and the track laid again as broad gauge. As of early 2012, train services on the track are expected soon.[9]

Sonahat

Sonahat on the Dhubri district-Kurigram District border is another defunct rail transit point. Sonahat was once connected to Kurigram by a metre gauge railway. The railway bridge across the Dudhkumor River is still there. In 1955 when India and Pakistan signed an agreement regarding resumption of rail traffic, the link had already been lost because of the wash out of another bridge, possibly across the Dharla, in what is now Bangladesh. Bangladesh wants to develop Sonahat as a "land port".[11][12][13][14]
